Surratt coached the Lions for four seasons. His first team, in 2010, finished 8-5. The Lions have been 5-28 since.

Satterfield said the school will begin a search for a replacement immediately.

In the just completed 2013 season, Surratt's team was 0-11 and was outscored 532-146. West Charlotte reached the state semifinals in 2007 under Maurice Flowers but had to forfeit its wins because of ineligible players.

The 2013 season was the first time West Charlotte had gone without a win on the field since 1968.

From 1980-1999, the Lions had two head coaches -- Bruce Hardin and Tom Knotts, a pair that led the Lions to five state championship appearances.
